After five years, the nightmares that she had every night reminded her repeatedly of the things she went through as a child, and the murder she witnessed when she was a teenager. When the opportunity presented itself, Lisa moved away from her family and created a life that didn’t involve them. Lisa had great friends and strived for the normal life that she craved. Everything was going as planned, until her routine life was interrupted by a phone call from the brother that she feared. Lisa was brought back to the place that she vowed to never return to. It was her childhood home that held secrets and lies of a life that she no longer wanted. Her therapist, Dr. Mage, encouraged her to spend time with her siblings in their time of need, but a trip to the cabin, made Lisa realize how angry she was. Not only at her mother, but at a woman that took her brother under her wing and created the monster that he was. They called her Aunt Janet, a name in the household that no one was able to say without looking behind them. She was ruthless and evil in the cruelest way. Lisa didn’t like it and couldn’t wait to go back home when she heard that her brother and sister had been keeping in touch with her. But, a long-lost friend helped her cope with her reality and promised her that he would stay by her side, no matter what. In turn, it made Lisa think twice about leaving. She wanted to give him a chance, but knew that it was going to be difficult to let him in. Especially with a serial killer for a brother and an Aunt. Will Lisa be able to save her family from the woman that caused them so much pain, or will Aunt Janet have the last laugh?

    She does well at school, plays football with her classmates and lives in a happy home with two loving parents. She has no cares, no worries. However, this all changes the day her father dies. To cope with the death of her English husband, Sania's mother takes her on a journey back to India, the land of her birth, to reunite with her family. What Sania doesn't know is that this is no holiday, but possibly her new home for the rest of her life. Sania becomes embroiled in a world of culture clashes, prejudice and forced marriages; a world where sexual abuse and the subordination of women is commonplace and unquestioned. When her mother remarries and Sania too is forced into a marriage, she must learn to live her life in India until she can find a way to get home. But how? Who will hear her cries and wipe her tears? Who will see the tears behind the veil, who will hear her tears of silence? Who can she turn to for help and support? How many sacrifices can she endure for the promise of the freedom that she so desperately desires?

    This book has at least twice the life-saving information contained in his first book and describes in detail how all autoimmune diseases can now be easily cured without doctors or drugs. How you can virtually bullet proof your health by correcting the 5 deadly deficiencies of the modern age. And the shocking part about this is that doctors in general have no clue as to what is really making us all sick! This information in this book could literally wipe out 90% of the medical industry if everyone adopts its advice. Bold claims to be sure! Unbelievable? -Yes! But overwhelming proof is provided for all the claims! Once you read this book, the blindfold will be lifted and you might laugh and say...."So Simple! Why didn't I think of that!?". In this book, cures for every autoimmune disease known to man are described in detail, including a chapter that relates a number of case studies of people who have cured their Multiple Sclerosis with this protocol. And further describes how 100,000+ people all around the world have cured their MS using this simple information. But it doesn't stop there, cures for many more diseases are described and examples are provided for asthma, psoriasis, COPD, lupus, myasthenia gravis, eczema, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic hives, depression, etc. etc. and even cancer! The bottom line premise is simple; virtually all diseases not caused by old age or genetic mutations are caused by an unfocused immune system. Lazy when it comes to bad actors such as viruses, infectious bacteria, fungi, and newly emergent cancer cells while being hyperactive when confronted with good tissues that should normally not be attacked. The solution? Simply fine tune your immune system to operate correctly, and all these diseases will be a thing of the past. And it is so easy to do. Why don't doctors know about this? Could it be that it is bad for business or were they just taught incorrectly in med school? Hard to tell. Most diseases are caused by incorrect advice from doctors concerning a hormone that we all make that the author calls the ultimate biologic. This hormone fine tunes 2,700+ genes that control your immune and tissue-remodeling systems. Incorrect advice from many doctors keeps us all from producing enough of this hormone to remain healthy. Another large segment of diseases is caused by modern farming practices that deplete soils of essential cofactors to this hormone that leave approximately 80%+ of us deficient. And doctors basically never test for these deficiencies and know very little about them! Simple neglect and ignorance on the part of health professionals? Impossible you say? Well you will just have to read the book and find out how possible it is!
